When it comes to finding an angle to take, there are few better in sport than to cover a hometown kid making good on their talent. Enter Laura Enever. A North Narrabeen surf rat by heart, last week she won the ASP World Junior title in front of all the “Northy boys.” It was the second world title of young Laura’s career, which leads me to believe we should pay her some mind. Here’s what she has to say about it all:

You’re the ASP World Junior Champ, how does it feel?
I’m feeling pretty amazing right now! I don’t think it has fully sunk in yet. To win the World Junior Title at home, and to be able to share with all my family and friends has always been my dream. The whole of North Narrabeen was pretty much packed on the beach supporting me and cheering me. When I won it was just such a special moment, everyone was so happy and excited, I felt like I had won the world title not only for me, but for my home. It was the perfect day. It was the best day of my life.

What was the hardest thing about winning the title?
In my first heat of the contest I got off to a really nervous start, and kind of freaked myself out. It was such a big lead up to the event and I just wanted to surf really well in front of everyone at home and do really good, but it backfired. I just got really nervous. After that heat I just told myself I wanted to have fun, not worry and just enjoy surfing my home break. Everything just went my way from there.

How did you celebrate your win?
Well, all the Northy boys had already started “celebrating” before my final even got underway. Then after I won everyone took me straight up to North Narrabeen Surf Club and we partied on. Quiksilver put a whole lot of money on the bar, so everyone was having the best time. All the Northy boys got me up on a table and sung me the North Narrabeen song and made me skull from the world title cup. I think they were proud of me.

There aren’t very many surfers that can say they’ve won both the ASP and the ISA world titles, what does that mean to you?
It is pretty cool. I guess world titles are something you can never take away from someone, so it’s pretty special. One day I would love to win the ASP World Title but for now I’m stoked on my junior world titles, and just want to take it all in and enjoy it.

What’s next on your schedule?
I’m heading up to the Gold Coast for the Roxy Pro trials, as well as the ASP Banquet, which I’m really excited about. I actually really wanted to win World Juniors so I could get invited to the banquet and go shopping and get dressed up with everyone. I’m so looking forward to it. Other than I’m going to just keep doing the Australiasion Pro Junior events this year, as well as the WQS contests. But I don’t really have any plans, I just want to go with the flow, have fun, surf some really good waves, and keep experiencing everything along the way. I’m really excited for the rest of the year.

Roxy pro rider Sally Fitzgibbons is on Fire! She blew minds in Bafureira, Portugal adding yet another victory under her belt. This wasn’t the first time she took the win at the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) 6-Star Estoril Surf Billabong Girls event, as this is the 2nd year in a row for Sally! “I’m over the moon right now with this second win here in Estoril.  It’s been so much fun to be back here in Portugal and to be out there in the final with Jacqueline (Silva). I love being back in a town where the waves are really great to ride,”says Sally post victory. Congratulations Sally, you’re unstoppable!

New York New York is the city of dreams…but what about LA? We always have an amazing time when it comes to hanging with our favorite NYC bloggers, but we wanted to make sure our LA bloggers and online editors felt the love too! We hosted a little cocktail hour, showed off our Summer 2010 collection, and had the cameras rolling. We asked the bloggers to style their fave outfits using the ROXY Summer line.

Bio: They say blood is thicker than water. If that is the case, then the members of the Kopecky Family Band are forever bound together by the music running through their veins. With their undeniable connection both onstage and off, the band is composed of an eclectic mix of both classically trained musicians and home-honed talent that is truly unique. Everyone in this family brings something different to the table. Their captivating blend of neo-classical, folk, and electric sensibilities still maintains a strong, distinctive musical voice. From their thoughtful lyrics to their ethereal harmonies, this band demands attention.

From humble beginnings inside a practice room at Belmont University, they have already garnered an impressive following both in and outside their “birthplace” of Nashville, TN since coming together musically in the fall of 2007. Maintaining close relationships while still working hard to expand their musical horizons, the Kopecky Family knows how to stick to their roots and build upon their bonds to create a truly cohesive musical experience. If their hauntingly beautiful brand of folk rock is any indication, the Kopecky Family Band will be sticking around for a long time to come.

Today I checked in with a few girls from our surf team who were in town and asked them about their ”summer style secrets.”  They did not disappoint! Bree is a fan of “off-the-shoulder shirts,” while Jen always carries a little “salt in her hair” to look stylish. And Amy? She swears by a “hot pair of earrings.” My advice: try all 3 at once!

Available:5/18-5/24 - The Stationary Set “Faces”

The Download of the Week for this week comes from The Stationary Set, with their song “Brick and Mortar”. The Stationary Set was formed when Andrew Lutes’ teamed up with long-time friend and rock-band veteran Josh Hoisington (The Minor Fall, The Giveaway, Four Days). “The Stationary Set have put their emotionally taxing indie-rock back on the shelf in exchange for this new blend of light-hearted social commentary coupled with highly contagious, guitar-driven pop melodies.” The diary-esque yet optimistic feel to their lyrics created by Lutes’, with intelligent arrangements, led by Hoisington, make The Stationary Set a safe bet for success. Check them out and let us know what you think of them!!
